Aditya Dhar praised Preetisheel Singh not only for her artistic skill but also for her personality and dedication on Dhurandhar set. Opening up about the scale of work involved, Dhar said Singh and her team created over a hundred character designs across both parts of the film
Filmmaker Aditya Dhar opened up about his first impression of renowned character designer and prosthetics artist Preetisheel Singh, admitting that he was initially hesitant to meet her and collaborate with her for Dhurandhar because he had heard she was “arrogant” and “too expensive.”
Dhar shared a heartfelt note on Instagram on Thursday (April 9) while celebrating Singh’s contribution to his blockbuster film Dhurandhar and its sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Along with a series of photos, the director spoke about how his perception changed after meeting her.
In his post, Dhar wrote, "Here’s to Preetisheel, my Sardarni sister from Pathankot. Mera Sher.😁 When I first heard her name, I’ll be honest, I was hesitant. There were all these opinions floating around, “she’s arrogant,” “she’s too expensive,” “she only does prestige projects.” And then I met her. In that one meeting, all of it just fell apart. It reminded me of something I’ve learned the hard way in this industry, never build your truth on borrowed opinions. More often than not, they come from a place that has nothing to do with the person you’re about to meet."
The director went on to praise Singh not only for her artistic skill but also for her personality and dedication on set.
